Beebe Medical Center recognized employees and physicians for their dedication and commitment to high quality patient care during the third annual Quality and Safety Awards Banquet recently held at Kings Creek Country Club.

The three award-winning teams were: "Hand-Off Communication- focused on improving the method of how nurses share patients' medical information with other nurses and patients as shift change; "Medical Staff Quality Measures- focused on the creation of a Medical Staff Committee that is responsible for the measurement, evaluation, and oversight of the competency and performance of medical providers through a multi-specialty approach with an emphasis on the pursuit of excellence and collegial learning; Coordination of Care Initiative- implemented actions to improve and maintain the health of patients with chronic illnesses such as heart failure after they are discharged from the hospital.

The evening represented the culmination of a year’s work by 11 teams made up of a total of more than 75 Beebe team members that had designed and implemented process improvement initiatives impacting the quality of patient care. For more information, visit beebemed.org.
